Green Eyes (live) Lyrics

every night we light the candle
that stands beside our bed
but sometimes the flame's too much to handle
that's what you said
that's what you said
and you should know
because you built a fire in me and made it burn
followed me watching every move
matching every turn

chorus:
the green eyes
they don't miss a thing
hold me like the sun going down
warm me like a fire in the night
without a sound
mmm
you were waiting till I heard
just as patient as that love light in your eyes
you never threw away a word or ever talked in a disguise
I OUGHT to know
you were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea
I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me
so OPENLY
chorus

the first time I ever saw your laughter break loose
inside and tumble out to me
my heart knew it had found what it was after
and it came so easily
we should know
after all the years of the hard and LONELY times
now our days go by like best friends' story lines
yours and mine

chorus

mmm
without a sound
